Edizione speciale: Novel Food #5 / Announcing Novel Food #5

The light has changed in my corner of the world, indicating that summer is giving way to fall. In other places, winter is on its way out, and spring is welcomed with joy.

The approaching official change of the season is marked, once again, by the announcement of a new edition of Novel Food, the culinary/literary event that Lisa of Champaign Taste and I co-launched a few seasons ago. Once again (for the 5th time, to be precise), we are looking to find culinary inspiration in literary works.

If you are new to the event, and you are wondering what it is about, the split roundup of the previous edition should answer your question: Lisa's portion is here and mine is here.

I will make this announcement short and just lay out the simple rules for participating in Novel Food #5:

Prepare a dish of your choosing that has a connection to a published literary work (novel, novella, short story, memoir, bio).

Publish a post about it on your blog by Saturday September 20, 2008, 9 am (Pacific Time), referencing the Novel Food event. If you wish, you can include the Novel Food logo.

Send an e-mail to Lisa (webrina AT gmail DOT com) or to me (simosite AT mac DOT com) and include your name, blog name and blog address, and a permanent link to your post. Please, include the words "Novel Food" in the email subject, so we can more easily retrieve the message in our inbox.

Non-English submissions are fine. If possible, include an introduction in English.

Lisa and I will do a roundup soon afterward the deadline: once again, it will be our way of welcoming the coming season.

March 15-June 6 Comments

On March 15, 2014, I switched to Disqus comments. I then discovered that comments on posts older than January 1, 2013 appeared only in some cases. The solution offered was not satisfactory, so on June 6, I disabled Disqus. Between June 7 and June 20, I manually entered Disqus comments into TypePad, so they appear with a date later than the original.
